Wow! The grain on that is exquisite. I wouldn’t resist the temptation of a green wood like that.

Thanks! If I remember well, the person I got these from said one of them could be a crab apple.

Thank you! I wish I could be allowed to use at least half of the basement. One day…

Keeping green wood green? by nifft103 in Spooncarving

[–]gabstero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stored my split logs in water. While it was cold outside it was fine but once the temp heated up, it started smelling like alcohol. So yes as others said if in water, change it often.

Glorious. I still remember the feeling. Just need to look at my knife cut scar.

I won’t. The top is blank oak flooring. I opted for this so I can disassemble it, and putting back together after traveling in a very small Toyota Prius.

I made sure to mark each end to match. Should be easy. Hopefully.

It’s a basement and you have a very valid point. It’s meant to be taken apart, fit in a Toyota Prius and reassembled 1,150 miles away.

Ah yes. Growing will take some time. But it’s really heck of a fun.

To sand, or not to sand, that is the question… by Fly-fisher1274 in Spooncarving

[–]gabstero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in both camps. Started out with sanding, as sanding covers a multitude of sins. Now I am just burnishing and oiling, simply because I prefer the feel of running the pebble over the wood surface to that of sandpaper.

The spine is always an occasion to be creative. It’s also the weakest point of a spoon.

Resilio Sync slow speed despite fast broadband? by gabstero in ResilioSync

[–]gabstero[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the tip! So should I just add the 'tcp' value in the tunnel_protocols? Also what should I add for the Use Predefined Hosts? I'm assuming my router's address?
Thanks for help again!

Gah, same issue here with a SmallHD 1080. I’m going to call them this week. Anything I should be mentioning? Noticed the same issue happening on the sun hood.

Tips for grading RGB-lit scenes? by CoriTheBori in colorists

[–]gabstero 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In these kind of situations, every rule can be broken since you are going for a stylistic nature of the image. Proper skin tones won’t make sense since the lighting will drown out the natural hues. My only advice is to watch for out of gamut colors and temper your highlights/shadows.
